Katherine Heigl Wants to Return to Grey's Anatomy

The 33-year-old actress left Grey's Anatomy after six seasons in 2010, following months of badmouthing the ABC medical drama. (At the time, Heigl said she quit the show to focus on raising her newly adopted daughter Naleigh, now 3.)

Heigl -- who famously withdrew her name from the 2008 Emmy race because she "didn't feel I was given the material this season to warrant a nomination" -- explained that her character still has more stories to tell.

"My idea is that she actually figures it out and finds some success and does really well in a different hospital," Heigl said. "She was always floundering, and so she was always one step behind the eight ball, and I want to see that girl take some power back."
